Solar Plexus Chakra

The meditation group are learning about the chakras and we have been focusing on specific one each week.

A trauma in childhood can cause an imbalance, such as age inappropriate responsibilities, causing an imbalance in the 3^rd chakra (solar plexus).

Sometimes the situation within a family requires that the child grow up too quickly and take on responsibilities that are beyond the maturity of their age.  Parental substance abuse, poverty, illness, death or divorce may push a child into the role of surrogate spouse or parent. 

This usually leaves the child with an overwhelming feeling of inadequacy.  Such inadequacy not only attaches itself to every task attempted in the future, but also to one’s very concept of self. 

As Alice Miller has said “One is free from depression when self-esteem is based on the authenticity of one’s own feelings and not on the possession of certain qualities.”

Healing the third chakra is essential for maintaining healthy metabolism, balancing the distribution of energy throughout the body, and determining the course of our lives with appropriate responsibility and freedom.  To achieve this, we need to work on the internal first.  We need to undo the knots of old habit patterns that drag us downward, the binding fears from the past that rule us, the paralysing self-scrutiny of our shame, or the compulsive acting out of unresolved conflicts. 

Give up wanting everything assured ahead of time and accepting that there might be criticism, challenge, misunderstanding, rejection or a possibility of failure. 

The challenge of power is to mature, accept responsibility and carve the shape of our future through our own proactivity.  Our power increases through meeting challenges and resolving them successfully.  We must be willing to take risks, venture into the unknown and escape the gravity of the familiar.

Robert Detzler

Yesterday I met a man who has changed my life.  He had no idea who I was and how his teaching of Spiritual Response Therapy to 2 people way back at a Mind, Body & Soul exhibition in the 90’s would reach out to so many people, including me.

Robert Detzler is a teacher, counsellor and minister who introduced Spiritual Response Therapy, to the world.  This is a psychic spiritual method that uses universal energies to heal past life traumas and subconscious blocks. 

I booked his class as he is doing a teaching tour in Europe and there were 90 of us from Great Britain, Ireland, Belgium and France.  It was the first time he’s been in the UK since 1994, so I grabbed this opportunity with a personal mission to shake his hand.  And that is exactly what I did.  He also kindly invited people to the front of the class for Body Re-structuring and my lower back pain and neck ache have amazingly gone, without any kind of touch whatsoever! Awesome.

He was very informative yesterday…

As a minister he believes that 90% of the bible is symbols and 10% is history. 

He said that no-one can “attack” you psychically.  It’s your “belief” that makes it real. 

He mentioned that anyone with Asthma or a breathing challenge is most likely due to a past life where they died from poisoned gas or were drowned in a moat containing sewage and nasty things!  I am pleased to say that all this can all be cleared in a person’s soul records.

How a therapist can check the physical body of the fetus and ask if it’s developing properly.  If it’s not then it can be corrected!

How using “995” can bless food and raise the energy. 

Plus many other enlightening things!

His dear wife Mary Ann was with him and she gave a wonderful speech in memory of a teacher who had very recently passed over.

Robert explained that the Earth is a place of transformation and learning.  He said he has had many lives where he learnt a lot but didn’t put it into action.  So in this life it is his opportunity to rectify that. 

Earth is a place where each one of us, can make a difference.  Well Robert, you certainly have and from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I have just returned from a very extraordinary place, nestled among spectacular mountains in enclosed gardens. I felt I was visiting friends in a large private home where you could help yourself to hot drinks, fruit juice and biscuits whenever you liked.  Sitting at the poolside looking at the stunning scenery, I could feel the energy of  harmony and beauty  cradling me.

I was lucky enough to be given a bedroom in the original farm house which  is built around an enclosed courtyard, with the main group room opening off it, where we “flipped to the fun side” with Alison Goldie each day, learning drama improvisation which was non-stop laughter. 

Just outside the room was a stone staircase leading to a large flat roof, where Brenda taught us yoga each morning, ending with the church bell from the nearby town.  And each night I lay star-gazing and was delighted and awed to see shooting stars.

Not only was this a very special place, it was inspirational.  Two ladies in particular shone.  One had had a mastectomy and had been affected by the recommended drugs, causing joint pain.  This didn’t deter her from travelling alone or from swimming half naked in the swimming pool. Outstanding courage and bravery. 

The other lady had been blind since the age of 16 and again this didn’t deter her from travelling alone, sunbathing and feeling comfortable baring all.  She asked for no help unless she specifically requested it.  Balls of string were attached to the orchard area so when she went down the steps, she could be guided to her blanket for sunbathing.  Her sense of humour and vivid personality were marvellous.

It put everything into perspective and reminded me to be grateful for what I have and to be perfectly comfortable in my own skin.

Will I be going back?  You bet!
